摘要

1. A case of giant-cell tumour of the proximal end of the humerus treated by resection and fibular grafting twenty-nine years ago is reported. An excellent functional result has been maintained.2. The literature is reviewed and the results claimed by earlier workers are noted.3. The present field of application of the operation is probably in cases of advanced or recurrent giant-cell tumour of bone.
